    Hilton Macquarie card is enhanced into Hilton HHonors Macquarie card

    I am debating the prospect of booking six months of bookings on all Saturdays at Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne (all three) to guarantee the 20% off, and not guaranteeing each with a credit card. This way I can use the 20% off for a while yet. I probably won't do it, but I'm disappointed by...

    Hilton Macquarie card is enhanced into Hilton HHonors Macquarie card

    Isn't it 10000 HH points for 1500 AA points? Use Frequent Flyer Miles, Rail and Car Rental Rewards with Hilton HHonors

    Hilton Macquarie card is enhanced into Hilton HHonors Macquarie card

    I got this in the mail and immediately went looking for the 20% discount - couldn't find it anywhere. Am extremely disappointed by this - the 20% discount was the most valuable thing for this card! Also, no $99 night anymore - just a free weekend night if you spend money on the card (which I...

    Platinum "anytime" lounge Access ceases from 1 February 2011

    Clever! I didn't think about the points option with a fully refundable fare!

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    I would think that it is certainly the case that OnQ has a lot of information in it (possibly more than we realise) and I'm intrigued to find out what they have on OnQ about me. As for feedback, I provide a lot of it. Most of it is positive, but I'm also not shy in saying when it wasn't as good.

    All Qantaslink flights to depart SYD T3 from August 15th 2013

    So far my experience with QFLink in T3 has been mixed: * Am liking being able to wait in the J Lounge for my flight, and accessing it when I land into SYD too. * Most of my departures have been via aerobridge from either Gate 9 or Gate 18. This goes very smoothly, although when the flights are...

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    I've never stayed at an Australian property as a Gold or below (I've been Diamond for all my Australian stays), but in every occasion, they take my room number, give me a seat, and then just allow me to get up and leave when I want. Occasionally they bring a folio over but it has...

    The totally off-topic thread

    I've been taking the Nexus 4 option - AUD$328 delivered and unlocked then on a cheap contractless SIM card works out way cheaper for me. Of course, everyone else's mileage will vary.

    Amex platinum Charge annual fee increase

    Thank you - as I'm considering transferring to Asia Miles, I don't need Ascent Premium. I'm looking at other policies at the moment to see if I can ditch the Amex Charge travel insurance policy.

    All Qantaslink flights to depart SYD T3 from August 15th 2013

    You should be able to use the T3 business lounge as you'll have a flight on JQ sometime that day (earlier). If you're stopped, be prepared to show evidence that you flew with JQ, as it won't appear on their systems (an itinerary would be sufficient). You can't walk airside, and you wouldn't be...

    Amex platinum Charge annual fee increase

    If you're on Ascent Premium and you choose to drop back to Ascent (i.e. just the Platinum Credit card, or something like that), do your points transfer over?

    How do Hilton treat you as an Elite?

    I believe you were there for a particular teaching reason. A pity - I was asked to do it, and then they cancelled me as they found a local instructor. We could have been teaching on the same course!

    Qantas First Lounge in Auckland?

    I haven't been to the EK Lounge yet (not open when I'm flying), so I can't give advice on that one yet.

    Elite treatment at Hilton Surfers Paradise

    Not in my experience. They upgraded me as a Diamond to an Executive Room, and then tried to tell me they were doing me a favour as the better rooms had more street noise!
